The Hideout opened on March 24, 2005. Owners Greg Lundgren and Jeff
Scott had in mind a different kind of bar, and set forth to make
their dream a reality. With virtually no past experience in bar
operation, they approached it from the eyes of patrons – what
kind of bar would they want to hang out in? Well, it had to be dark.
And the drinks would have to be top-notch – hand squeezed
juice even. It would have to have a little glamour – Seattle
needed to grow out of its college years and at least pretend to
have some style and culture. Yeah, make it look old. No white plastic
or energy drinks. Make it a place where you can talk with your friends.
Make it a place where the bartender knows your name and you are
not embarrassed to go there by yourself. Make it a place you are
proud to take your out of town friends to.
Welcome to the Hideout.
